A group of Charlotte leaders raised nearly $55,000 in 2005 for Hurricane Katrina victims, and then turned to the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus Foundation to distribute the money to those in need.
But the foundation didn't give most of the funds away until this year.
In its 2005 tax forms, the foundation stated that it gave all of the money away that year:
Provided relief for Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans. Raised over $50,000 funds and distributed all funds for programs offering relief to victims of this devastating disaster.
Although the foundation gave about $12,000 to a Charlotte charity in 2005, it didn't give the rest of the money away until April of 2007. That's the same month that new chairwoman Rep. Alma Adams announced an audit of its books.

I'm waiting for Adams to post, and call you a racist.
What other reason would you have for looking at the tax forms of the Caucus?
